Early Help at Hartismere School

At Hartismere, all staff are trained in recognising the signs of abuse and are committed to and know the benefit of Early Help as a way of supporting families and young people before their needs become acute and Social Care or other specialist intervention may be necessary.

We have a range of robust safeguarding procedures in place which puts the safety and protection of children at the heart of any decisions.

The safeguarding team all complete inter-agency safeguarding training on a yearly programme. All other school staff complete safeguarding training on a three yearly basis and are updated regularly to any changes in legislation..

Involvement of Families

The school will always involve the family in all Early Help strategies and most will only be put in place with their permission. The school will aim to work with families in a supportive, non-judgemental way so that trust is built up and the best possible outcomes achieved.
